Battlefield 1943, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Onslaught canned for PC

One game, and one piece of add-on content in the Battlefield series have been …

Fans of EA's Battlefield series who also enjoy playing their games on the PC aren't having a good day. DICE has announced that the long-delayed Battlefield 1943 has finally been canceled for the PC, and we likewise won't be seeing the Onslaught mode in our version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2

"We know some of you eagerly have been awaiting Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Onslaught on PC," Karl Magnus Troedsson, general manager of DICE, wrote on the official blog. "I'm sad to say that these two titles are now officially canceled. Instead, our talented teams will focus on delivering the greatest possible gaming experience in our next behemoth release. We're confident this will lead to an even better experience in Battlefield 3, not only on PC, but on all platforms."

Battlefield 3 will be unveiled to the press at an event before the upcoming Game Developers Conference, and PC gamers have had the release of Bad Company 2: Vietnam to keep them somewhat placated, but this is still disappointing. We wanted to play some Onslaught! Still, DICE is making it clear that it's looking forward, not back.

We will reserve our rage until after we see Battlefield 3. If it's everything DICE is hinting at, we can be considered satisfied. If not, the bitter complaints will begin again.
